Line 74:
* [[Pen Name]]: For the first strip, [[Alan Moore]] gave the writing credit to one of his main characters, "E.E. Quinch."
* [[The Quiet One]]: Quinch. ''S'right!''
* [[Satire, Parody, Pastiche]]: "D.R. & Quinch Go to Hollywood" Because the characters {{spoiler|indirectly destroyed Earth}} before, the Hollywood they end up going to is actually a planet ''named'' "Hollywood" where the principal economy of the entire planet is the entertainment industry, and every resident alien is a caricature of a legendary Hollywood personality.
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: Many of the descriptions whichever character is narrating the story gives for things. For example,
{{quote| '''Waldo "D.R." Dobbs:''' A Hatchway in the craft opened with this sound which was just like, y'know, the sound of a hatchway opening."}}
Line 81:
** ''Everyone'' admitted to Massacre House counts, really.
* [[Short Runners]]: Only six adventures were written by [[Alan Moore]] in the span of two years.
* [[Shout
* [[Spin-Off]]: Their first adventure was supposed to be a one-off for ''[[Two Thousand AD (Comic Book)|Two Thousand AD]]'''s ''Time Twisters'' strip. It proved popular enough for D.R. & Quinch to get their own strip.
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Seeing how, Waldo Dobbs, has a a 280 I.Q., it doesn't come as much of a surprise that he says an occasional "sophisticated" word here and there mixed in with his more usual lexicon that's based around more [[Totally Radical]] words (i.e. Asking for [[The Judge|The Judge's]] '''appellation''', rather than his '''name''').
